The Les Arcs Film Festival has announced the 18 in development film projects selected for its 16th Les Arcs Coproduction Village, aimed at connecting the upcoming features with coproducers, sales agents, distributors and other financing partners.

The copro meeting will take place within the context of Alpine festival’s industry program running December 14 to 17. Sixteen of the 18 projects are directed by female filmmakers, with 38% of the features submitted directed by women.

Ten are first fiction feature projects, seven are second features and one is by a more established filmmaker. They include Ukrainian director Anastasiia Solonevych’s debut feature 30 Days Of Summer, about two sisters who reconnect against the backdrop of a military training camp.

Solonevych won the Cannes Palme d’Or for Best Short Film in 2023 for As It Was. German director Sophie Linnenbaum, whose 2022 fantasy drama The Ordinaries enjoyed a buzzy awards and festival run, will participate with second fiction feature The Nose.
